In a recent gathering, the Lawrence County E-911 Board of Directors convened for their regular session on Tuesday, June 25th. The meeting kicked off with a thorough discussion on the current financial status. Following this, the board proceeded to pass end-of-year amendments to the existing fiscal budget and gave the green light to a proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year.
It was revealed that a significant portion of the budget is allocated towards employee salaries and training expenses. The total expenditures for the upcoming year are expected to remain consistent with the current year. Director Chad Moore was granted authorization by the board to explore the possibility of depositing a portion of the district’s cash reserves into interest-bearing accounts.
Additionally, a decision was made to open a new bank account to facilitate the collection of payments for new 911 address fees, which are slated to be implemented in the near future. These fees, yet to be determined, will serve to offset the expenses associated with establishing and mapping out new addresses that will be required as anticipated housing and commercial projects take shape.
Details regarding the date and location of the next E-911 board meeting are set to be disclosed at a later time, ensuring transparency and accessibility for all stakeholders involved.
